Thai Flower £500 jackpot
|
|
This popular Fixed Odds Betting Terminal (FOBT) game has transgressed from the bookies and can now be found in many arcades with a £500 jackpot, housed in the Triple 7 cabinet. |
Thai Flower is a popular Fixed Odds Betting Terminal game, originally found in Coral betting shops. It's unique in its simplicity, although it now has several clones. Its popularity helped it make its way out of the betting shops and into arcades and bingo halls across the country.
Because of its simplicity and random nature, there are know known cheats for this game. However, it does have aspects that can manipulate the wins to pay more or less that their initial value, such as the gamble.
The machine also has ten win-lines as opposed to the more standard twenty that we see on many other £500 jackpot machines.

Bonus Features:
There are only two features on this machine that are offered aside from the standard reel wins. These are: 12 Free Games: This is awarded with any three Thai Flower symbols in view, landing on reels one, three, and five. This will then activate the free games feature that multiplies all wins and adds wild symbols on to the reels. The feature can also re-activate during the free spins. This is a generous, and as such, rare feature that often pays in excess of £90. Gamble: Not everyone's cup of tea, and largely ignored by most players. This game has a playing card gamble that offers true odds of either double or times four your initial win (providing it doesn't pay over the jackpot limit). This takes the form of red, black for a 50/50 double or nothing gamble. Or for the more adventurous, a suit gamble offering four times the prize or nothing. This is in the form of Spade, Diamond, Heart, or Club. The gamble is random, with the deck effectively being shuffled every time. Any win can be gambled up to a maximum of £500, and it can also be part banked should you want to limit the risk. Upon exiting of the Thai Flower feature, these wins too can be gambled. |

The reel wins can be fairly generous, and with the absence of no more than one reel based feature, you can expect (hope for) a wide variety of wins of all values.
The value changes depending on the stake being played, so check the pay-table as you go through the stakes so you are not disappointed if a win doesn't pay what you expected.
These wins can be gambled straight away, instantly banked, or set to gamble above £5 only. This is set from the selection next to the stake button.
Overall, its feel and style point to a more American style of slot machine game. Its gamble feature, which is very rare in America, brings aspects of both to the U.K. market.
It is my opinion that this is the more likely style of many £500 and even £70 jackpot fruit machines of the future.
